OBJECTIVES:
a. Use a variety of statistical tools to process and
manage numerical data;
b. Use methods of linear regressions to predict the value of a
variable given certain conditions; and
c. Advocate the use of statistical data in making
important decisions.

Linear Regression Analysis
- Linear regression is the simplest and commonly
used statistical measure for prediction studies.
- It is concerned with findings an equation that uses
the known values of one or more variables, called the
independent or predictor variables, to estimate the
unknown value of quantitative variable called the
dependent or criterion.
- It is a prediction when a variable (y) is dependent
on the second variable (x) based on the regression
equation of a given set of data.
- After a scatter plot is constructed and the value of
correlation coefficient is deemed to be significant,

then an equation of the regression line is
determined.

Task:
1. A sample of 6 children was selected, data about their age in years
and weight in kilograms was recorded as shown in the following table.
It is required to find the correlation between age and weight.
2. Scores made by students in biostatistics class in the mid- term
and final examination are given here. Develop a regression
equation which may be used to predict final examination scores
from the mid-term score.
